Question

Which expression is equivalent to the following expression: 8x − 4x + 3 ?
Responses
A 4x + 34 x + 3
B 4x - 3 4 x - 3
C 3x - 43 x - 4
D 3x + 4

Answer 1

To simplify the expression \( 8x - 4x + 3 \), we first combine the like terms:

\[
8x - 4x = 4x
\]

Now, adding the constant term:

\[
4x + 3
\]

Thus, the simplified equivalent expression is:

\[
4x + 3
\]

Now let's compare this with the given options:

A. \( 4x + 34x + 3 \)
B. \( 4x - 3 \)
C. \( 3x - 4 \)
D. \( 3x + 4 \)

None of the responses accurately match \( 4x + 3 \). Therefore, it seems there is a typo in option A, as it has an extra "34x".
If we regard it as \( 4x + 3 \) (considering the intention), that would be correct.

Thus, based on the given choices and typical response formats, it seems none match perfectly, but A could be construed to be correct if interpreted considering a typo.

**Overall, the final answer based on simplified expression and analyzing options should be noted as none of the options are correctly equivalent.**
